But Mother Corey cut in, his voice older and hoarser, and the skin on his jowls even grayer than usual. "Don't sell them short, cobber. I did once.... You forget them, here, after a while. But they're around...." Bruce Gordon felt something run down his armpit, and a chill creep up his back.... Out on the street, a sudden whooping began, and he glanced down.
His breath came quicker, his voice grew hoarser, and he crouched lower. All his body except his rigid arms quivered with a wonderful muscular convulsion. "Dogs! Skunks! Buzzards! Flash them guns, er I'll flash mine! Aha!" To Madeline it seemed the three stiff, crouching men leaped into instant and united action. She saw streaks of fire streaks of smoke. Then a crashing volley deafened her.
But the passions seemed not likely to blow over so soon as was desirable. Leicester's brother the Earl of Warwick took a most gloomy view of the whole transaction, and hoarser than the raven's was his boding tone. "Well, our mistress's extreme rage doth increase rather than diminish," he wrote, "and she giveth out great threatening words against you.
The pleasant night-sounds are begun; the hylas are uttering their shrill peep from the meadows, mingled soon with hoarser toads, who take to the water at this season to deposit their spawn. The tree-toads soon join them; but one listens in vain for bullfrogs, or katydids, or grasshoppers, or whippoorwills, or crickets: we must wait for them until the delicious June.
Slowly at first, and then with a rush, as though feeling more and more sure of herself, the Red Cloud arose in the air like a gigantic bird of scarlet plumage. Up and up it went, higher than the house, higher than the big shed where it had been built, higher, higher, higher! "There she is!" cried the shrill voices of the boys in the meadow, and the hoarser tones of the men mingled with them.
But his voice was perfectly audible, though hoarser than usual, and his words were distinctly pronounced, though he paused between sentence as if short of breath. He said, turning first toward Mr. Thesiger, and then looking at Mr. Hawley "I protest before you, sir, as a Christian minister, against the sanction of proceedings towards me which are dictated by virulent hatred.
He usually took dinner at six o'clock, and then, after an hour devoted to meditation, he mounted a barrel and crowed a good part of the night. He got hoarser all the time, but he scorned to allow any personal consideration to interfere with his duty, and kept up his labors in defiance of threatened diphtheria. Sleeping was out of the question when he was on watch.
Again there is a sound as of a human voice, but hoarser; it comes from the cabin where the remains of Frankenstein still lie. I must arise and examine. Good night, my sister. Great God! what a scene has just taken place! I am yet dizzy with the remembrance of it.
And if his portrayal of Archibald Wickersham was unmistakably deliberate, neither did he fail for want of sufficient detail, to make the other picture clear. Vilely he gave them the complete imagery of his vile brain. A shout went up, a louder, hoarser outcry of applause which rocked the room. And then that rigid figure in the doorway had started forward.
Suddenly the widow looked up and spoke in a voice hoarser than before. "I see what he means. He enjoys keeping you both at his mercy. It's like an animal that has tasted blood and if his desire is balked, he'll revenge himself in the other way." "You think he has gone to Denzil?" "Very likely. If not to-night, he will to-morrow.
